03 ABOUT

Cryptography, made useful.

I’m Samuel Dahunsi—a mathematics graduate and engineer focused on turning ambitious cryptographic ideas into systems people can actually use. My work spans sumcheck and GKR research, confidential protocols, on-chain verification, SDKs, and developer education.

I currently work as a DevRel Engineer at QuikDB, where I translate complex infrastructure into clear documentation, demos, workshops, and better developer experiences.
